Polyester Taffeta A fabric's waterproof properties are measured using a rating called its hydrostatic head. If a tent has a hydrostatic head of 3000mm it means that a 3 metre column of water can be placed on its surface before any drops will show through the underside of the fabric. (The Ministry of Defence in the UK classifies fabric with a hydrostatic head of 800mm+ as waterproof).Pitching is straightforward and can be done in minutes by one person; start by laying the inner tent out flat and inserting the shorter steel poles into the central hub and the corner connectors. Add the longer upright poles and clip them to the inner then peg it all out and add the flysheet over the top. It can all be done in 10 minutes, max. There is airflow under the fly from the ground, and this works, but without a roof vent, condensation can be a real issue with this tent.
